N Roach Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) Hey,http://www.apple.com/downloadsWhat do you lot think of the safari browser. Personally I think its great, for those that cant spell, it has a built in spell check that appears a red wiggly line under every word you have spelt wrong. Also it looks like the MAC on the screen. Biggest advantage is its very simple!Comments?Nathan Edited October 26, 2008 by Nathan Coward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austen Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I got it when i downloaded the new itunes, i don't mind it, when i click links from msn conversations it will open in safari, the layout of it is good + simple but it doesnt seem to be as fast as my normal one?

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Am I allowed to hate it without even trying it? I choose that option .Edit: Actually before I even download it can someone tell me if it acts like a virus on my computer like iTunes does, installing and running 3 odd processes which run all the time in the background for no good reason...

BenLeacock™ Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) I find my mac so much easier to navigate than my windows after literally a month, the spell check is a MASSIVE bonus.

It's genuinely very good. Edited October 25, 2008 by Pashley26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I have spell check in FF. 'Tis useful. Afraid my hatred of Apple is going to stop me downloading. As you were people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 The only thing I really like about it is the loading bar and the address bar being one thing, but other than that I'm pretty indifferent. I absolutely hate the way it uses different fonts to the rest of the world, everything appears in bold, which is a real pain in the arse when building website because quite often the text starts a new line when it doesn't in every other browser.

BenLeacock™ Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I have spell check in FF. 'Tis useful.I thought you were going to say that. I just find the whole layout so much simpler to use. The predictive search bar is ALOT better than the Firefox one actually giving you relevant results. I no you can get similar layouts on Firefox, but my Pc is going to run safari now. Honestly dave, TRY IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Yours has to be set up wrong then. I've never had that problem and i've been using Safari for ever !Nope it's not, I've got the default font setting thing on the lightest setting there is, and I've fiddled with the CSS to get the font even lighter, but it's still bolder than every other browser.

Pashley26 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 A staple of Apple logic since 1976...Stop being so cantankerous, download it and try it for a week. Then after that week if you don't like it just go back to FF and delete it. But I'd like to think you'll find it quick easy and intuitive to use.This is an Apple product marketed for Windows. It's not the hookey kookey shit you'd like to slate Mac's about, it's a professional alternative to the more square and technical IE and FF which offers everything you can get in both comparative applications. Just do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In trials you should be able to ride how you like and how you enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivals Toxicity in the realms of being fresh. I'm in love with that vid so much that I even got the bike out yesterday *shock horror* and started to dial those whips.
